BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to an automatic transmission for a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a planetary gear train of an automatic transmission for a vehicle which can improve power delivery performance and fuel economy.
2. Description of Related Art
Typically, multi-shifts mechanism of an automatic transmission is achieved by combining a plurality of planetary gear sets.
The planetary gear sets receive torque from a torque converter and change and transmit the torque to an output shaft.
It is well known that when a transmission realizes a greater number of shift speeds, speed ratios of the transmission can be more optimally designed, and therefore a vehicle can have economical fuel mileage and better performance. For that reason, an automatic transmission that is able to realize more shift speeds is under continuous investigation.
Though achieving the same number of speeds, the planetary gear train has a different operating mechanism according to a connection between rotational elements (i.e., sun gear, planet carrier, and ring gear).
In addition, the planetary gear train has different features such a durability, power delivery efficiency, and size depend on the layout thereof. Therefore, designs for a combining structure of a gear train are also under continuous investigation.
Currently, four-speed and five-speed automatic transmissions are most often found on the market. However, six-speed automatic transmissions have also been realized for enhancement of performance of power transmission and for enhanced fuel mileage of a vehicle. In addition, eight-speed automatic transmissions and tenth-speed automatic transmissions have been developed at a good pace.
The information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

The first compound planetary gear set CPG1 is formed by combining the first and second planetary gear sets PG1 and PG2, and the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 is formed by combining the third and fourth planetary gear sets PG3 and PG4.

In addition, one rotation element of the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 is directly connected to one rotation element of the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 such that the planetary gear train has eight rotation shafts TM1-TM8.
The first rotation shaft TM1 includes the first sun gear S1 and is selectively connected to the input shaft IS and the transmission housing H.
The second rotation shaft TM2 includes the first planet carrier PC1 and the second planet carrier PC2, and is selectively connected to the input shaft IS and the transmission housing H.

Four clutches C1, C2, C3, and C4 are disposed between rotation shafts or between rotation shafts and the input shaft IS.

In addition, the third clutch C3 and the third brake B3 are applied to the second compound planetary gear set CPG2.

FIG. 3 is a lever diagram for a planetary gear train according to various embodiments of the present invention, and illustrates shift processes of the planetary gear train according to various embodiments of the present invention by lever analysis method.
Referring to FIG. 3, a lower horizontal line represents a rotation speed of “0”, and an upper horizontal line represents a rotation speed of “1.0”, that is the same rotation speed as the input shaft IS.

Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, each speed of the planetary gear train according to various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
First Forward Speed
The first clutch C1 and the first and third brakes B1 and B3 are operated at the first forward speed D1.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the fifth rotation shaft TM5, and the second rotation shaft TM2 is operated as the fixed element by operation of the first brake B1.
Therefore, the rotation elements of the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 form a first speed line T1 and a first speed is output through the third rotation shaft TM3.
In a state that the first speed is input to the third rotation shaft TM3, the sixth rotation shaft TM6 is operated as the fixed element by operation of the third brake B3. Therefore, the rotation elements of the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 form a first shift line SP1.
The first shift line SP1 crosses the vertical line of the seventh rotation shaft TM7 that is the output element, and D1 is output.
Second Forward Speed
The first brake B1 that was operated at the first forward speed D1 is released and the second brake B2 is operated at the second forward speed D2.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the fifth rotation shaft TM5, and the first rotation shaft TM1 is operated as the fixed element by operation of the second brake B2.
Therefore, the rotation elements of the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 form a second speed line T2 and a second speed is output through the third rotation shaft TM3.
In a state that the second speed is input to the third rotation shaft TM3, the sixth rotation shaft TM6 is operated as the fixed element by operation of the third brake B3. Therefore, the rotation elements of the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 form a second shift line SP2.
The second shift line SP2 crosses the vertical line of the seventh rotation shaft TM7 that is the output element, and D2 is output.
Third Forward Speed
The second brake B2 that was operated at the second forward speed D2 is released and the second clutch C2 is operated at the third forward speed D3.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the fifth rotation shaft TM5, and the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is also input to the second rotation shaft TM2 by operation of the second clutch C2. Therefore, the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 becomes a direct-coupling state and the rotation elements of the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 form a third speed line T3. Therefore, a third speed that is the same as the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is output through the third rotation shaft TM3.
In addition, in a state that the third speed in input to the third rotation shaft TM3, the sixth rotation shaft TM6 is operated as the fixed element by operation of the third brake B3. Therefore, the rotation elements of the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 form a third shift line SP3.
The third shift line SP3 crosses the vertical line of the seventh rotation shaft TM7 that is the output element, and D3 is output.
Fourth Forward Speed
The first clutch C1 that was operated at the third forward speed D3 is released and the second brake B2 is operated at the fourth forward speed D4.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the fifth rotation shaft TM5, and the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is also input to the second rotation shaft TM2 by operation of the second clutch C2.
At this time, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the second rotation shaft TM2 and the first rotation shaft TM1 is operated as the fixed element by operation of the second brake B2 in a state that the first clutch C1 is released. Therefore, the rotation elements of the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 form a fourth speed line T4, and a fourth speed is output through the third rotation shaft TM3.
In a state that the fourth speed is input to the third rotation shaft TM3, the sixth rotation shaft TM6 is operated as the fixed element by operation of the third brake B3. Therefore, the rotation elements of the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 form a fourth shift line SP4.
The fourth shift line SP4 crosses the vertical line of the seventh rotation shaft TM7 that is the output element, and D4 is output.
Fifth Forward Speed
The second brake B2 that was operated at the fourth forward speed D4 is released and the third clutch C3 is operated at the fifth forward speed D5.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the fifth rotation shaft TM5, and the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is also input to the second rotation shaft TM2 by operation of the second clutch C2.
At this time, the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 does not affect on shifting since the first and second brakes B1 and B2 are not operated.
However, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the eighth rotation shaft TM8 by operation of the third clutch C3, and the sixth rotation shaft TM6 is operated as the fixed element by operation of the third brake B3. Therefore, the rotation elements of the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 form a fifth shift line SP5.
The fifth shift line SP5 crosses the vertical line of the seventh rotation shaft TM7 that is the output element, and D5 is output.
Sixth Forward Speed
The third brake B3 that was operated at the fifth forward speed D5 is released and the second brake B2 is operated at the sixth forward speed D6.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the fifth rotation shaft TM5, and the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is also input to the second rotation shaft TM2 by operation of the second clutch C2.
At this time, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the second rotation shaft TM2 and the first rotation shaft TM1 is operated as the fixed element by operation of the second brake B2 in a state that the first clutch C1 is released. Therefore, the rotation elements of the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 form the fourth speed line T4, and the fourth speed is output through the third rotation shaft TM3.
In a state that the fourth speed is input to the third rotation shaft TM3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the eighth rotation shaft TM8 by operation of the third clutch C3. Therefore, the rotation elements of the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 form a sixth shift line SP6.
The sixth shift line SP6 crosses the vertical line of the seventh rotation shaft TM7 that is the output element, and D6 is output.
Seventh Forward Speed
The second brake B that was operated at the sixth forward speed D6 is released and the first clutch C1 is operated at the seventh forward speed D7.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the fifth rotation shaft TM5, and the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is also input to the second rotation shaft TM2 by operation of the second clutch C2. Therefore, the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 becomes a direct-coupling state and the rotation elements of the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 form the third speed line T3. Therefore, the third speed is output through the third rotation shaft TM3.
In addition, in a state that the third speed in input to the third rotation shaft TM3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the eighth rotation shaft TM8 by operation of the third clutch C3. Therefore, the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 becomes a direct-coupling state and the rotation elements of the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 form a seventh shift line SP7. Therefore, D7 is output.
Eighth Forward Speed
The second clutch C2 that was operated at the seventh forward speed D7 is released and the second brake B2 is operated at the eighth forward speed D8.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the fifth rotation shaft TM5, and the first rotation shaft TM1 is operated as the fixed element by operation of the second brake B2.
Therefore, the rotation elements of the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 form the second speed line T2 and the second speed is output through the third rotation shaft TM3.
In a state that the second speed is input to the third rotation shaft TM3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the eighth rotation shaft TM8 by operation of the third clutch C3. Therefore, the rotation elements of the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 form an eighth shift line SP8.
The eighth shift line SP8 crosses the vertical line of the seventh rotation shaft TM7 that is the output element, and D8 is output.
Ninth Forward Speed
The second brake B2 that was operated at the eighth forward speed D8 is released and the first brake B1 is operated at the ninth forward speed D9.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the fifth rotation shaft TM5, and the second rotation shaft TM2 is operated as the fixed element by operation of the first brake B1.
Therefore, the rotation elements of the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 form the first speed line T1 and the first speed is output through the third rotation shaft TM3.
In a state that the first speed is input to the third rotation shaft TM3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the eighth rotation shaft TM8 by operation of the third clutch C3. Therefore, the rotation elements of the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 form a ninth shift line SP9.
The ninth shift line SP9 crosses the vertical line of the seventh rotation shaft TM7 that is the output element, and D9 is output.
Tenth Forward Speed
The first clutch C1 that was operated at the ninth forward speed D9 is released and the second brake B2 is operated at the tenth forward speed D10.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the fifth rotation shaft TM5, and the third rotation shaft TM3 is stopped by operation of the first and second brakes B1 and B2.
In a state that the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the eighth rotation shaft TM8 by operation of the third clutch C3, the third rotation shaft TM3 is stopped. Therefore, the rotation elements of the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 form a tenth shift line SP10.
The tenth shift line SP10 crosses the vertical line of the seventh rotation shaft TM7 that is the output element, and D10 is output.
Eleventh Forward Speed
The second brake B2 that was operated at the tenth forward speed D10 is released and the fourth clutch C4 is operated at the eleventh forward speed D11.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the fifth rotation shaft TM5, and the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is also input to the first rotation shaft TM1 by operation of the fourth clutch C4.
However, the input through the fifth rotation shaft TM5 does not affect on the shifting, and the input through the first rotation shaft TM1 affects on the shifting. In addition, the second rotation shaft TM2 is stopped by operation of the first brake B1. Therefore, the rotation elements of the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 form a fifth speed line T5 and a fifth speed is output through the third rotation shaft TM3.
In a state that the fifth speed is input to the third rotation shaft TM3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the eighth rotation shaft TM8 by operation of the third clutch C3. Therefore, the rotation elements of the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 form an eleventh shift line SP11.
The eleventh shift line SP11 crosses the vertical line of the seventh rotation shaft TM7 that is the output element, and D9 is output.
Reverse Speed
The fourth clutch C4 and the first and third brakes B1 and B3 are operated at the reverse speed REV.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is input to the fifth rotation shaft TM5, and the rotation speed of the input shaft IS is also input to the first rotation shaft TM1 by operation of the fourth clutch C4.
However, the input through the fifth rotation shaft TM5 does not affect on the shifting, and the input through the first rotation shaft TM1 affects on the shifting. In addition, the second rotation shaft TM2 is stopped by operation of the first brake B1. Therefore, the rotation elements of the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 form the fifth speed line T5 and the fifth speed is output through the third rotation shaft TM3.
In a state that the fifth speed is input to the third rotation shaft TM3, the sixth rotation shaft TM6 is operated as the fixed element by operation of the third brake B3. Therefore, the rotation elements of the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 form a revere shift line SR.
The reverse shift line SR crosses the vertical line of the seventh rotation shaft TM7 that is the output element, and REV is output.
According to various embodiments of the present invention, eleven forward speeds and one reverse speed may be achieved by combining four planetary gear sets PG1, PG2, PG3, and PG4 into two compound planetary gear sets CPG1 and CPG2 and controlling four clutches C1, C2, C3, and C4 and three brakes B1, B2, and B3.
That is, the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 firstly changes the rotation speed of the input shaft IS into two reduced speed, speed of 0, speed of 1 the same as the input shaft IS, one increased speed, and one inverse speed, and the second compound planetary gear set CPG2 secondary changes the output of the first compound planetary gear set CPG1 and the rotation speed of the input shaft IS into eleven forward speeds and one reverse speed.
The planetary gear train according to various embodiments of the present invention may improve power delivery efficiency and fuel economy by achieving multiple-speeds of the automatic transmission.
Since at least three friction members are operated at each speed, the number of the friction members that are not operated can be reduced. Therefore, drag loss may be reduced and power delivery efficiency and fuel economy may be further improved.
In addition, all the four planetary gear sets PG1, PG2, PG3, and PG4 are not involved in each speed, but one to four planetary gear sets are involved in each speed in the planetary gear train according to various embodiments of the present invention.
That is, the second and third planetary gear sets PG2 and PG3 are involved in the first forward speed, the first, second, and third planetary gear sets PG1, PG2, and PG3 are involved in the second forward speed, the third planetary gear set PG3 is involved in the third forward speed, and the first and third planetary gear sets PG1 and PG3 are involved in the fourth forward speed.
In addition, the third and fourth planetary gear sets PG3 and PG4 are involved in the fifth forward speed, the first and fourth planetary gear sets PG1 and PG4 are involved in the sixth forward speed, and the first, second, third and fourth planetary gear sets PG1, PG2, PG3 and PG4 are involved in the seventh forward speed.
In addition, the first, second, and fourth planetary gear sets PG1, PG2, and PG4 are involved in the eighth forward speed, the second and fourth planetary gear sets PG2 and PG4 are involved in the ninth forward speed, the fourth planetary gear set PG4 is involved in the tenth forward speed, and the first and fourth planetary gear sets PG1 and PG4 are involved in the eleventh forward speed.
In addition, the first and third planetary gear sets PG1 and PG3 are involved in the reverse speed.
Since the number of the planetary gear sets involved in each speed is minimized, power loss may be also minimized.
